Bitcoin Price Predictions: Top Analysts Predict Where Bitcoin Will Be in 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 Years

Everyone has a different idea of where bitcoin will go next. Some people believe bitcoin will be worth $0 in the near future. Others think it will be worth $1 million – or even more. Nobody knows where bitcoin is going to go next. Ten years ago, few people thought bitcoin was going to be worth more than a few pennies, then parity with the dollar happened then $19,891 BTC/USD did.

The truth is, no one knows what the price of bitcoin will ever be, on any given day, but boy do people sure love to guess with almost no conscience. These estimates from experts or analysis by traders may have inherent value based on good reason and decorated history in them, no one can accurately forecast the future value of bitcoin. The design of this bitcoin price prediction guide is meant to be easily followed for optimal comparing and contrasting of what the latest influencers and traders have thrown out there, whether 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 years from now.

So where is bitcoin going next? Where will bitcoin be at the end of 2019? Where will bitcoin be in 2020? 2025? 2050? Everyone has different opinions. Today, we’re summing up the most popular bitcoin price predictions from across the cryptocurrency and financial world.

John McAfee: $1 Million

John McAfee predicts that bitcoin will be worth $1 million by the end of 2020. McAfee has a history of making outlandish predictions that occasionally turn out to be true, although this prediction seems particularly outlandish. In 2017, for example, McAfee claimed bitcoin would be worth $5,000 by the end of 2017. It peaked near $20,000 that year.

John McAfee also has skin in the game. In mid-2017, McAfee boldly announced that he would, “Eat his own dick on national television if bitcoin doesn’t reach $500,000 by 2020.” Yikes. By November 2017, with the price of bitcoins surging to unprecedented heights, McAfee doubled his prediction, claiming once again that he would “Eat his dick on national television” if the price of bitcoin did not reach $1 million by the end of 2020.

We have until the end of 2020 to determine if John McAfee is correct. However, bitcoin certainly has a long way to go to reach the $1 million mark in less than two years. McAfee might want to start booking a national television timeslot now – although he might have trouble finding a network willing to feature him performing the unspeakable act.

Jack Dorsey: Bitcoin Will Become the World’s Single International Currency

Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, has previously been outspoken about his price predictions for bitcoin. Dorsey has a major stake in bitcoin and seems to own quite a bit of it. He’s also an investor in Lightning Labs, the company behind the Lightning Network for BTC, investing $2.5 million in seed capital into the company in March 2018.

Dorsey is extremely bullish on bitcoin in the long-term, claiming that it will ultimately become the world’s single currency. Dorsey believes this transition could happen “probably over ten years, but it could go faster.” Dorsey has added that bitcoin does not currently have the technological capabilities to be used as a currency: it needs more speed and scalability, for example. However, he expects new technologies – including the Lightning Network – to enhance bitcoin’s usability over time.

Dorsey hasn’t issued a specific price point for bitcoin in terms of where he expects the currency to be.

Chamath Palihapitiya: $100,000 to $1 Million

Former Facebook employee turned venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya predicts that bitcoin will be worth $1 million by 2037. While other crypto evangelists are giving near-term price predictions, Palihapitiya’s prediction goes 20 years into the future.

Palihapitiya was born in Sri Lanka and raised in Canada. Today, he’s a co-owner of the Golden State Warriors and founder of Social Capital, a venture capital firm with more than $1.2 billion under management. Palihapitiya bought his first bitcoin back in 2020. At the time, Palihapitiya claimed to own approximately 5% of all bitcoins in circulation.

It’s not clear how much bitcoin Palihapitiya owns today. If he owned nearly 5% of bitcoin in circulation back in 2012, for example, then it’s possible that Palihapitiya owns anywhere between 400,000 and 1 million bitcoin today, depending on how much he has sold or purchased over time. That would make him very easily a crypto billionaire.

Palihapitiya recently provided a nearer-term price prediction, claiming that bitcoin will be worth, “$100,000 a coin probably in the next three to four years.” In the distant future, however, bitcoin will be worth one million dollars per coin: “And I think it is in the next 20 years a million dollars a coin.”

Palihapitiya has a history of making accurate price predictions. In September 2013, when BTC was trading at $135 per coin, Palihapitiya tweeted that BTC would be worth $200 by the end of the year. BTC eventually reached the $1,000 mark for the first time just two months later.

Why is Palihapitiya so bullish on bitcoin? He claims bitcoin is a “fantastic hedge and store of value against autocratic regimes and banking infrastructure that we know is corrosive to how the world needs to work properly.”

Roger Ver: $250,000

Roger Ver is one of the best-known evangelists in the crypto space. Seen as a controversial figure by some, Roger Ver bought a bunch of bitcoin in early 2011 when it was priced at under $10. He claims he recognized the potential of bitcoin from the early days.

Ver has a history of making bold price bets. In 2011, he bet $10,000 that bitcoin would outperform gold, silver, the U.S. stock market, and the U.S. Dollar by a factor of 100 within the next two years. Ver was just slightly off on his price prediction, missing the mark by two months. Bitcoin beat the markets by a factor of 100 within 2 years and 2 months of Ver’s bold price prediction.

As for more recent price predictions, Ver predicted in 2015 that bitcoin could “easily be worth $2,500, or $25,000 per bitcoin, or even $250,000 per bitcoin.” At the time, bitcoin was trading at $250.

It’s also important to note that Ver believes Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is the true version of bitcoin today because it matches the project he started following in 2011. He believes BCH will eventually surpass BTC in price, number of users, and market cap, although that obviously has not happened yet. Today, Ver seems to be moving forward with the assumption that BCH will eventually reach a price of $250,000.

Tim Draper: $250,000

Venture capitalist and bitcoin evangelist Tim Draper tweeted in April 2018 that bitcoin would be worth $250,000 by 2022. As one of the most ardent bitcoin supporters in Silicon Valley, Draper has been bullish on bitcoin for years. In 2014, for example, Draper predicted that bitcoin would be worth $10,000 within four years, despite the fact that bitcoin was trading for just $472 at the time.

Draper also made one of the smartest public investments in bitcoin history, buying 30,000 BTC during the Silk Road auction in 2014. At the time, 30,000 BTC would have been worth around $20 million. At its peak, those BTC would have been worth as much as $500 million. Smart buy.

Draper’s “250,000 by 2022” prediction is so renowned, by the way, that he hung a large banner outside Draper University in downtown San Francisco announcing the prediction.

Tom Lee: $91,000

Tom Lee, an analyst at Fundstrat, has predicted that bitcoin will reach $91,000 by 2020. Lee made the unusually-specific prediction in March 2018 after analyzing the performance of past dips. Essentially, Lee argued that bitcoin rebounds after market dips.

Lee has made numerous price predictions over the years. In July 2017, Lee claimed that bitcoin would hit $55,000 by 2022, for example. In January 2018, Lee claimed BTC would be worth $25,000 by the end of the year. With bitcoin ending the year below $4,000, Lee’s final price prediction was incorrect. His price predictions for 2022, however, remain undecided.

Wences Casares: $1 Million

If you’re a bitcoin bull, then you just love reading these optimistic $1 million price predictions. Wences Casares chimed in with his own $1 million bitcoin price prediction in January 2018, when bitcoin was near its peak value. Specifically, Casares claimed that bitcoin would be worth $1 million by 2027.

Casares is an Argentinian tech entrepreneur who launched Argentina’s first ISP back in 1994. More recently, he has served as a board member at PayPal. He’s also the founder and CEO of bitcoin wallet startup Xapo, which aims to become the world’s largest bitcoin custodian.

Casares purchased his first bitcoin in 2011 while searching for a way to stay insulated from Argentina’s volatile national currency. As the Argentinian Peso has tanked over the years, Casares usage of bitcoin as a hedge against inflation is looking increasingly wise.

“If it fails, it will be worthless,” he said in May 2017. “If it succeeds, in five to seven years it [one bitcoin] will be worth more than a million dollars.”

Casares repeated the prediction during a January 2018 interview with Dan Schulman, CEO of PayPal. The two agreed that bitcoin could eventually be worth $1 million. Schulman added that once bitcoin reached a price of $1 million, investors will be kicking themselves for not buying when bitcoin was $14,000 to $20,000.

Tai Lopez: $60,000 to $1 Million

Tai Lopez got into bitcoin later than virtually anyone else on this list, reportedly purchasing his first bitcoin in December 2017 when bitcoin was at its all time high. It’s unclear exactly how much bitcoin Tai Lopez owns, or how much he paid for that bitcoin. However, anyone who bought bitcoin in December 2017 has lost a considerable amount of money to-date.

Tai Lopez, who is best-known for his YouTube videos, his ‘Lamborghini in my garage’ commercials, and his book club, has made several specific price predictions for bitcoin.

“If the world’s millionaires allocate merely 1 percent of their holdings into bitcoin, the bitcoin price could reach $60,000 in the mid-term,” explains Lopez.

In other videos, Lopez upgrades that price prediction even further, claiming that bitcoin will be worth $1 million by 2024.

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss: $120,000 to $160,000

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss rose to prominence after being involved with Mark Zuckerberg during the early days of Facebook, eventually reaching a $65 million settlement in a controversy featured prominently in The Social Network. After their involvement with Facebook, however, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss got into cryptocurrency in a major way, launching their own crypto exchange called Gemini. In 2013, the Winklevoss twins claimed to own more than 1% of all bitcoin in existence, amounting to more than $1 billion at the time (and considerably more today).

Moving forward, the Winklevoss twins claim bitcoin has significantly more room to grow. In a CNBC interview from mid-2018, the twins argued that the total market cap of bitcoin could reach as high as $6.8 trillion:

“If you look at a $100 billion market cap today, now last week it might have been more like 200, so it’s actually a buying opportunity, we think that there’s a potential appreciation of 30 to 40 times because you look at the gold market today, it’s a $7 trillion market. And so a lot of people are starting to see that, they recognize the store of value properties. So we think regardless of the price moves in the last few weeks, it’s still a very underappreciated asset.”

When asked how long it would take bitcoin to grow 30 to 40 times its current value, the Winklevoss twins claimed it would take 10 to 20 years. In other words, the Winklevoss twins believe bitcoin will reach a price of $120,000 to $160,000 by 2028 to 2038.

Joe Davis: $0

Most of the analysts featured on this list are optimistic for the future of bitcoin, with estimates ranging from $5,000 to $1 million. It’s always good to show both sides of the spectrum, however, and that’s why we’re highlighting Joe Davis’s price prediction of $0.

“As for bitcoin the currency? I see a decent probability that its price goes to zero,” explained economist Joe Davis in an opinion piece written in May 2018. Davis is a senior economist at the Vanguard Group, the $5 trillion investment fund and the largest mutual fund provider in the world. Some of the problems Davis has with bitcoin include its lack of usability and its poor function as a store of value. During times of crisis, Davis believes investors will flock towards tried-and-true assets as a store of value – not unproven stores of value like bitcoin.

Bill Gates: $0

Bill Gates also seems to predict that bitcoin will go to $0. Gates has always been a noted critic of bitcoin. He even trashed the world’s largest digital currency after he received bitcoin as a birthday present several years ago.

“As an asset class, you’re not producing anything and so you shouldn’t expect it to go up. It’s kind of a pure ‘greater fool theory’ type of investment… I agree I would short it if there was an easy way to do it.”

Bill Gates hasn’t specifically said that the price of bitcoin will drop to $0. However, he clearly sees no real future for bitcoin as an asset and seems to believe it will become value-less in the near future.

Fran Strajnar: $200,000

Fran Strajnar has one of the more immediate price predictions on this list. Strajnar claims that we’ll see bitcoin priced at $200,000 by the end of 2019 – which is bold given that bitcoin has hovered between $3,500 and $4,000 for most of 2019 to-date.

Why is Strajnar, the CEO of crypto media platform Brave New Coin, so optimistic? Here’s how he explained it:

“The adoption rates are continuing to be quite steady, and adoption rates heavily correlate to the price, so therefore, unless for some reason people just simply stop continuing to adopt Bitcoin, we should see $200,000 per Bitcoin by 1st January 2020 at the latest. Hashrates, number of wallets, apps, dapps … all that infrastructure is just steadily increasing, so adoption is most definitely happening and a lot easier to quantify, so we’re fairly confident with the fundamentals of Bitcoin, and we’re questioning a lot of the fundamentals of the [initial coin offerings].”

Strajnar believes strong infrastructure and fundamentals will lead to a skyrocketing price of bitcoin by the end of 2020. Strajnar previously predicted that bitcoin would be worth $20,000 by 2020, when it actually reached that mark three years sooner, in December 2017.

Kay Van-Petersen: $100,000

Kay Van-Petersen is a financial analyst at Saxo Bank Group with over a decade of financial market trading and analysis experience. Today, he specializes in crypto analysis, and he believes bitcoin will be worth $100,000 by 2028.

Van-Petersen is confident that the crypto market will explode over the next decade. He believes crypto will eventually account for 10% of all daily currency trading volume, competing with fiat currencies as a dominant global currency. Unblock.net did the math on this prediction. Today, $5 trillion of fiat currency is traded daily. If bitcoin captures 10% of that volume, and accounts for about 35% of the crypto market share, then bitcoin will have $175 billion of trading volume. Dividing by the number of bitcoins issued by 2028, which will be 17 million, leads to a valuation of $100,000 per coin.

Van-Petersen’s employer, Saxo Bank, has a history of making accurate price predictions. Saxo Bank predicted that bitcoin would hit the $2,000 mark in 2017. By the end of the year, bitcoin was worth $20,000.

Kenneth Rogoff: $100

Kenneth Rogoff was asked where he sees bitcoin in 10 years. He believes it’s more likely to be worth $100 than anything else:

“I think Bitcoin will be worth a tiny fraction of what it is now if we’re headed out 10 years from now… I would see $100 as being a lot more likely than $100,000 ten years from now.”

Rogoff is the former head of the International Monetary Fund and a current Harvard University professor. One of the main reasons Rogoff sees a problem with bitcoin is because of its limited utility:

“Basically, if you take away the possibility of money laundering and tax evasion, its actual uses as a transaction vehicle are very small.”

Michael Novogratz: $3,000 to $6,000

Former Goldman Sachs partner and hedge fund manager Michael Novogratz has kept himself in bitcoin headlines regularly with his bold price predictions. Novogratz has left his traditional Wall Street positions behind to focus on bitcoin full time. He is no longer a hedge fund manager at Fortress Investment Group, but is now the CEO of crypto investment firm Galaxy Investment Partners.

Unfortunately, Novogratz’s recent price predictions have been largely inaccurate. Novogratz predicted that bitcoin would be worth $40,000 to $50,000 by the end of 2018, for example. Bitcoin ended the year under $4,000.

In mid-December 2018, Novogratz revised his position, claiming that BTC’s price would not sink any further, hovering somewhere between $3,000 and $6,000. So far, Novogratz has been proven right.

Where does Novogratz see crypto going next? Novogratz claims by Q1 or Q2 2019, we’ll start to see institutions entering the crypto space, encouraging prices to move upward to new highs.

Novogratz’s investment firm, meanwhile, lost $136 million in the first three quarters of 2018.

Max Keiser: $100,000

Max Keiser, a partner at Heisenberg Capital, has made several price predictions on Twitter. In 2017, as bitcoin prices were rising rapidly, Keiser predicted that bitcoin would surpass the $17,000 mark by December – something that ultimately came true as bitcoin reached its all time high of $20,000 that month.

However, Keiser missed on a separate prediction, claiming that bitcoin prices would continue rising to $100,000 in 2018 before plummeting back to $28,000 in a market correction. Neither of those predictions became true, obviously, and Keiser has not made a new price prediction since.

Vinny Lingham: $100,000 to $1 Million

Vinny Lingham, co-founder of Civic and member of the Bitcoin Foundation, believes bitcoin could be worth anywhere from $100,000 to $1 million:

“Bitcoin currently is priced at 2.5% chance of being worth $100k of .25% chance of being worth $1m,” wrote Vinny Lingham on Twitter all the way back in June 2017.

Lingham added that bitcoin “can never go to a penny,” and claims it will always be worth something. However, it’s not totally clear what Lingham meant by his prediction. Did he mean that bitcoin has a 2.5% chance of shooting for the moon and breaking $100k? Or does he mean that bitcoin has a 97.5% chance of being worth somewhere between $0.01 and $100k?

MasterLuc: $40,000 to $110,000

MasterLuc is an anonymous bitcoin trader known for making some surprisingly accurate predictions. He rose to fame within the online crypto community in 2013 after predicting the bull runs in both April and November of that year. MasterLuc also predicted the eventual bear market after that historic bull run, claiming that the next time to buy bitcoin would be 2016-2017.

In May 2015, MasterLuc added to his legend even further, claiming that another bitcoin bubble would likely occur around May 2017. That prediction, of course, would turn out to be almost exactly accurate, as bitcoin would begin its legendary bull run in March 2017.

Where does MasterLuc believe bitcoin will go next? In 2018, MasterLuc issued a prediction on TradingView claiming that the next bitcoin bubble would see prices ranging from $40,000 to $110,000. He believes the bubble will occur in 2019:

“So taking into account that correlations [between 2013 and 2017] I announce drammatical [sic] price rise from approximately $40,000 USD in quick and pessimistic version to more than $100,000 USD and prolonged optimistic version.”

Trace Mayer: $21,600

Typically, bitcoin price analysts don’t predict the price of bitcoin down to the dollar. Trace Mayer, however, differentiated himself from the pack when he predicted in October 2017 that bitcoin would reach a high of $27,395 by February 2018. That prediction, of course, was completely incorrect, as the price of bitcoin collapsed soon after.

In September 2018, Trace Mayer issued a new bitcoin price prediction, claiming that bitcoin would hit $3,000 within the coming months, citing analysis provided by his Mayer Multiple figure. Mayer’s system predicts that bitcoin could reach a high of $21,600 by the end of 2019, which would be a new all time high for the cryptocurrency.

John Pfeffer: $700,000

John Pfeffer believes that bitcoin could eventually reach a $700,000 when it comes the preferred store of value over gold:

“Bitcoin is the first viable candidate to replace gold the world has ever seen. So, if bitcoin becomes the dominant non-sovereign store of value, it could be the new gold, or new reserve currency,” explained Pfeffer.

Pfeffer claims that as bitcoin replaces gold as a store of value, it could reach a price of $90,000 in the near future, eventually rising to $700,000 as its usage becomes more common. However, Pfeffer added a word of caution to his price prediction, claiming that there’s an 8% chance of BTC reaching $90,000 and a 1% chance of it reaching $700,000.

Spencer Bogart: $3,500 to $50,000

Spencer Bogart, a partner at Blockchain Capital and a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is widely praised across the crypto industry for his thorough analysis. He’s a regular speaker at industry events and crypto startup functions. He’s also one of the most active bitcoin analysts on Wall Street. In 2018, Bogart predicated that the price of bitcoin would rise to $50,000 by the end of the year, fueled by the entry of new institutions into the space.

Obviously, with bitcoin below $4,000 at the end of 2018, Bogart’s prediction turned out to be incorrect. Bogart also called the bottom of the bitcoin market in October 2018, when bitcoin still had room to fall. In February 2019, with bitcoin sitting at around $3,500 to $4,000, Bogart claimed it was a good time to buy bitcoin in an interview with Bloomberg, although he wasn’t sure if it was the absolute bottom:

“Bitcoin never left, it has been always been here. So is it back? It definitely is! Are we ready to see new all-time highs, probably not yet. I still feel there are a few more regulatory shoes to drop. I think now is a very good time to buy. Is it the absolute bottom? Not sure.”

Bogart believes bitcoin’s network effect and utility will allow it to continue as the reigning champion of the crypto space.

Murad Mahmudov: $20,000+

Murad Mahmudov, host of ‘On the Record’ believes bitcoin will reach a new all time high at some point in late 2020, although he declined to predict a specific price point. The prediction took place in a discussion between Mahmudov and Tone Vays. The two agreed that there’s a 40% chance of seeing a new all time high in 2020, increasing to a 45% chance of seeing a new all time high in 2021.

Jeet Singh: $50,000

Crypto fund manager Jeet Singh was yet another analyst who made an unfortunate price prediction in 2018, claiming that bitcoin would go as high as $50,000 by the end of the year.

“Bitcoin could definitely see $50,000 in 2018…We will probably go through a suffering period of volatility around the time of Bitcoin’s next $10,000 landmark.”

Singh has been active in the crypto space since 2012. Although he seems optimistic about future price movements of bitcoin, he also cautioned that crypto prices were extremely volatile. Nevertheless, Jeet Singh doubled down on his prediction, arguing in November 2018 that bitcoin could reach $50,000 by the end of 2018. It’s unclear where Jeet Singh believes the price of bitcoin will go next, as he has not publicly disclose a price prediction since.

Llew Claasen: $40,000

Llew Clasen, executive director of the Bitcoin Foundation, predicts that the price of bitcoin will be $40,000 by the end of 2018, although he also said he expects to see continuing heavy volatility for crypto markets over the coming years. Claasen argues that movements of 30% to 40% will be normal, and that 90% of altcoins will end up being totally worthless. Llew Claasen’s prediction of a $40,000 BTC price by the end of 2018 was proven incorrect, obviously, and he has not made any further public price predictions.

David Drake: $30,000

David Drake, founder and chairman of investment firm LDJ Capital, gave a speech about cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit in 2018. Drake’s speech explained how the market cycle of crypto in 2018 was a “cold winter” and believed the price would rebound before the end of 2018. Drake specifically claimed that bitcoin would be price at $30,000 by the end of 2018. It was trading at around $9,000 when Drake made his speech.

Drake also predicted in early 2018 that the crypto bear market would be over shortly:

“At that point, prices will go off and I think that’s going to happen around March or April,” explained Drake in early March 2018.

Drake’s prediction for 2018 ended up being incorrect. Since making his $30,000 BTC prediction, David Drake has not made another prediction.

Sonny Singh: $15,000 to $20,000

One of the most recent price predictions on this list comes from Sonny Singh, chief commercial officer at Bitpay, who is on record saying that bitcoin would hit a price of $15,000 to $20,000 by Thanksgiving 2019. Singh specifically cited things like a crypto ETF and an influx of funding for startups as reasons for optimism in the crypto space. He also claims bitcoin is the “800-pound gorilla” that enjoys the most notable “network effect” of all decentralized networks.

Ronnie Moas: $28,000

Crypto analyst Ronnie Moas predicts that bitcoin could reach $28,000 by the end of 2019. He believes bitcoin adoption rates will increase throughout 2019, and increased adoption will lead to increased demand with stable supply, therefore raising prices.

“Sad to watch the top 1% scare the crap out of you…separating you from your $BTC #bitcoin & keeping the gap between rich & poor…reiterating $28,000 target for end-2019,” explained Ronnie Moas on Twitter in September 2018.

Zhao Dong: $50,000

Zhao Dong is one of the biggest over-the-counter (OTC) bitcoin traders in China. Zhao has gone on record stating that bitcoin could reach $50,000 by 2021, claiming that today is the best time to invest in bitcoin. He believes investors who buy bitcoin today will see a yield of 100% to 200% over the next three years.

Anthony Pomplinao: $3,000

Anthony Pompliano predicted in November 2018 that bitcoin would drop as low as $3,000, but claimed it wouldn’t drop further than that. Pomp predicted that bitcoin’s trading activity would turn bullish in 2019, something that has not yet happened. One reason for optimism, according to Pompliano, is a chart showing that the number of bitcoin wallets has increased steadily over time. Pompliano has also repeatedly called bitcoin the world’s best-performing asset over the last 10 years.

Arthur Hayes

Arthur Hayes is the CEO of BitMEX, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges by trading volume. You would think Hayes would have a bullish outlook on the world’s largest cryptocurrency. However, Hayes may be one of the most accurate analysts on this list. In early 2018, Hayes predicted that bitcoin would reach $50,000 by the end of the year. Hayes later retracted that claim, however, claiming that bitcoin would drop to lows of around $3,000 and remain that low throughout 2019.

David Mondrus: $1 Million

David Mondrus is the current CEO of fake news finding platform Trive. He previously worked at Bitcoin Magazine, served as CTO of Bigstar.com, and CEO and Employee #5 at Bigfoot.com. Mondrus and his wife are best-known in the crypto space, however, for being the first couple to get married on the blockchain.

Mondrus believes bitcoin has as bright a future as his marriage. Mondrus claims bitcoin could reach a value of $1 million in about a decade, claiming that demand will continue rising as fewer and fewer new coins are minted:

“Do you think that the US government will ever stop printing money? There are only 21 million Bitcoins that can possibly be in existence — 16 million of them already exist. […] When that mining stops or when it slows down dramatically, that’s when the value really increases because there is no more supply to be created,” he said in an interview.”

Mondrus made the prediction in a statement to CBS News in November 2017.

BeInCrypto: $1,500 to $50,000

Cyrpto news media outlet BeInCrypto recently added its own price prediction to the mix of online opinions. In February 2019, BeInCrypto officially released its price prediction for 2019, 2020, 2021, and 5+ years from now. BeInCrypto believes that bitcoin will be priced between $1,500 and $4,650 by the end of 2019, for example, with the lower number being the worst case scenario and the higher number being the best case scenario.

In 2020, BeInCrypto believes bitcoin will be worth $2,400 to $8,000, rising to $1,900 to $30,000 by 2021. Within 5 years, bitcoin can either be worth less than $1,900 or more than $50,000, according to BeInCrypto’s analysis. These predictions might be the largest price range we’ve seen.

CoinPredictor: $1,900 to $5,500

CoinPredictor, found online at CoinPredictor.io, has an event-based forecast algorithm it uses to predict the likely future price of bitcoin. By analyzing positive and negative upcoming crypto events, CoinPredictor believes that bitcoin will continue rising throughout 2019.

CoinPredictor believes bitcoin will be priced at around $4,600 by the end of March 2019, for example, based on analysis of future crypto events, with bitcoin eventually rising to $5,470 by May 2019. By June, bitcoin’s price will have retreated to around $4,000.

CoinPredictor’s other algorithm is a price-based forecast algorithm, which is significantly more bearish than the event-based forecast algorithm. The price-based forecast algorithm estimates that the price of bitcoin will sink to a low of $2,300 by April 2019, followed by a continued drop to $1,900 by June 2019.

Bobby Lee: $333,000

Bobby Lee is the co-founder of BTC China and YourBTCC. He’s also a Board Member of the Bitcoin Foundation. Lee has a history of making oddly specific price predictions for bitcoin.

In late 2018, Bobby Lee predicted that bitcoin would bottom out at $2,500 sometime in January 2019, setting the stage for a bull run throughout the rest of 2019 and into 2020. By December 2021, Lee believes that bitcoin will reach a peak value of $333,000 before crashing all the way back down to $41,000 by January 2023.

Sam Doctor ($20,000 to $64,000)

We cited Sam Doctor’s colleague, Tom Lee, up above. Sam Doctor is an analyst at Fundstrat who believes bitcoin can reach a price anywhere from $20,000 to $64,000 in 2019. Doctor claims that bitcoin will reach a high of $36,000 by the end of 2019, with possibilities of the high reaching all the way up to $64,000. Doctor does not see the value of bitcoin dropping below $20,000 after reaching these highs. Doctor also claims that the “fair value” of bitcoin is currently between $14,000 and $15,000.

Doctor has an even bolder prediction for the distant future, claiming that bitcoin will be worth as much as $150,000 per coin as soon as bitcoin wallets account for 7% of the 4.5 billion accounts currently held by Visa.

Wheatley Model: $2,352.03

Forbes recently published an article on the Wheatley Model’s price predictions for bitcoin. That model shows that the price of bitcoin could sink as low as $2,352.03 in 2020. The model used factors like weakening demand and lower usage as reasons that bitcoin could continue to sink.

Hayes Model: $55,931.60

In the same Forbes article linked above, researchers ran bitcoin’s data through a separate model called the Hayes Model. This model predicted a more positive future for bitcoin, predicting a price of $55,931.60 by 2020. As bitcoin’s supply slows and mining difficulty increases at 7% per month, the price of bitcoin will rise to a high close to $56,000 by the end of 2020.

Justin Sun: $3,000 to $5,000

TRON CEO Justin Sun loves sharing his opinions with the crypto community. The outspoken CEO predicted in February 2019 that bitcoin would trade between $3,000 and $5,000 for the remainder of 2019. Sun also claimed that the bear market is finally over, although he cautioned that a major price surge is unlikely until at least three years have passed.

Mark Yusko: $75,000 to $500,000

Mark Yusko, founder of Morgan Creek Capital Management, predicted in April last year that bitcoin could hit $75,000 per coin by 2020. Yusko’s prediction was made in April 2018, before the bear market had truly started to grip bitcoin.

Yusko claimed that bitcoin was “just getting warmed up”, writing that bitcoin would be worth $25,000 by the end of 2018, $75,000 by the end of 2020, $200,000 by the end of 2022, and $500,000 by the end of 2024. Yusko’s first prediction has obviously not come anywhere close to being true, but we’ll have to wait to determine the outcome of the other predictions.

Jim Blasko: $100,000 to $200,000

Bitcoin Talk Radio founder Jim Blasko has a bullish stance on bitcoin, claiming that bitcoin will rise to a price between $100,000 and $200,000 by the end of 2020 or early 2021. As reported by TheStreet, Blasko’s prediction is based on the fact that bitcoin’s mining reward will be cut in half from 12.5 BTC per block to 6.25 BTC, leading to an increased price of bitcoin with lower supply and surging demand.

CryptoGround: $3,500 to $21,457

That algorithm predicts that bitcoin will remain relatively stable for the first half of 2019, fluttering between $3,500 and $4,000 until the end of summer. By August or September 2019, however, that algorithm predicts that bitcoin will be worth $4,600, rising to $5,600 by March 2020. In 5 years, by 2024, the CryptoGround algorithm predicts that bitcoin will be worth $21,457.

Conclusion: Where Will the Price of Bitcoin Go Next?

Nobody knows where the price of bitcoin is going to go next. One thing is certain, however: no price prediction is too crazy.

Back in 2009 or 2010, anyone who claimed one BTC would soon be worth $20,000 would have been called crazy. Today, someone who claims bitcoin will be worth $200,000 or $500,000 or $1 million may be called crazy. Alternatively, someone who claims bitcoin will be worth $0 or $100 could also be labeled crazy.

The craziest thing about bitcoin is that any of these predictions stands a reasonable chance of being accurate. We’ll have to wait to found out which bitcoin price prediction reigns supreme – and which predictions are truly the crazy ones.

Latest Bitcoin (BTC) News

If anything, we can attribute all this attention Bitcoin is receiving–as far as price is concerned–to late 2017 parabolic rise. Well, while it was a good thing in that it brought a lot of attention to Bitcoin and blockchain as a trustless technology, it did leave investors with a lot of expectations. That is greed and even the illusion of getting rich overnight.

The allure of registering triple or quadruple gains in minutes or start-ups crowdfunding and raising millions of dollars with just an idea did fuel this frenzy. And the bad thing is that this won’t stop anytime despite the probability of Bitcoin recording 100 percent gains within a day being a thing of the distant past.

That’s regardless of the hype element associated with Bitcoin and other crypto assets. Even so, investors who got in early last year and decided to hold instead of cutting losses may be on the path to redemption. Prices appear to be bottoming up and after early April surges, Bitcoin is trading at above important resistance trend lines both in the daily and weekly charts.

The good thing is that the sentiment is right and most analysts predict better prices ahead. Arthur Hayes of BitMex, for example, expect prices to rally 10X to $50,000 while Twitter holders project the most valuable coin to hit $98 million in the next two decades. As outrageous—or untenable—as it is, the sentiment is bullish for Bitcoin.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

Thus far, Bitcoin (BTC) prices are stable and trading above $5,000 which is important for traders. Not only is it imperative for participants to maintain prices above $4,500 and $5,000 as the asset trades within a bullish breakout pattern clear in the weekly chart, but bullish momentum should be strong enough to wade off bears keen on flowing back after mid-last week liquidation.

Note that Bitcoin is technically trading within a bullish breakout pattern but from a top-down approach, BTC is under pressure since buyers are yet to breach $6,000 reversing losses of Q4 2018 in the process invalidating bears and setting in motion the next possible wave that is likely to lift Bitcoin to $8,000 or higher.

As it is, whether Bitcoin will reverse mid-last week losses depends on the speed of Apr-11 loss reversal. If a high-volume, wide-ranging bull bar prints reversing Apr-11 losses and prices close above $5,500, both set of traders can ramp up with first targets at $$6,000. On the other hand, if there is a slowdown and prices collapse below $4,800 anytime this week, then $4,500 could be hit in a retest.

Today's Bitcoin (BTC) News

The divide between Bitcoin believers and bashers keep widening every day. On one corner we have Roubini, a New York University professor who won’t hesitate to lash on the coin. Assisting him are several media outlets that spew content about how Bitcoin is but another Ponzi scheme and ignorantly, a scam.

On the other corner are strong believers consisting of developers, publishers, analysts and even previous knights of traditional finance. They are unwavering, contributing to what they can and joining the every growing mass desirous of achieving complete decentralization. To them, it isn’t about price but about adoption. They are mostly first adopters who continue to face stiff competition since inception.

We have those who joined the journey and stealing headlines is Ran NeuNer, the CNBC Host who strongly believes that even if Bitcoin is a bubble, then it can’t pop twice in a row. Indeed, this is a sentiment that is shared across the space.

I can’t respect any publication that is still calling Bitcoin a bubble. Even if it was a bubble last year, I’ve never seen a bubble pop twice!

Bitcoin did collapse last year in the so-called crypto winter. With double-digit losses, Bitcoin slid from their peaks in late 2017 and early 2018 to lows of $3,200 in Dec 2018. It is now recovering and after three months of trading within tight trade ranges in a series of higher highs, we can conclusively say the most valuable asset has bottomed up.

As such, Neur losses respect in any publication that continues to push the bubble narrative insisting that “Talk of Cryptocurrency collapse is a thing of the past” mostly because the “it is here to stay” and people have a rough idea of what Bitcoin is.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

Back to price action and for a better angle, we shall analyze price action from a top-down approach. First, we should note that our trade conditions are live and in line with our last BTC/USD trade plan, traders should search for entries in lower time frames. Secondly, Bitcoin (BTC) bulls are in charge. Visible from the weekly chart, it is clear that prices are trending in levels last seen in Q3-4 2018 and at this pace, loses of Nov 2018 are likely to be reversed.

We can gauge the performance of Bitcoin bulls by checking the behavior of bars in relation to BB bands and participation levels. Note that after yesterday’s close, weekly averages were high and above average meaning what was pumping prices were strong “hands.” It is because of these whales that bull bars are banding along the upper BB the band diverges away from the middle BB as prices are maintained above $5,000.

Today, traders should wait for pullbacks and ideal buying zone is anywhere between $4,700 and $5,000. After that, our first target will remain at $6,000 but any surge above this mark triggers risk-averse traders aiming at $8,000 and later $12,000.

Today's Bitcoin (BTC) News

After prices tanked in Q4 2018, we can conclude that Q1 2019 was a “fair” for the world’s most capitalized crypto asset. With a market cap of $72,879 million, Bitcoin (BTC) is liquid and recovering after dropping more than 75 percent in last year’s crypto winter.

While it is yet to register jaw-dropping double-digit gains like those of late 2017 parabolic rise propelling it from spot rates to above $6,000, the fact that prices are steady with supportive fundamental is positive. The US SEC may not be in a hurry to approve any of the nine Bitcoin ETF proposals this year, Bitwise says, and that means their Jan application supposed to be determined tomorrow and postponed to mid-May not be put-off again.

Like VanEck and SolidX application, Bitwise Bitcoin ETF will be tracking the Bitwise Bitcoin Total Return Index whose prices are drawn from several approved exchanges. These are crypto-exchanges free from manipulation as wash trading with the asset management firm was rampant in the sphere. At the same time, the ETF will be physically backed by Bitcoins secured by an institutional grade third-party custodian storing assets in a hack-proof cold wallet.

In that case, our first target is $4,500, an important resistance level marking the upper limit of the $1,300 trade range with caps at $3,200—Dec 2018 lows and $4,500—Dec 2018 highs. Assuming buyers build enough momentum and close above this level in a breakout trade, it is likely that BTC will rally towards $6,000.

Already, apart from supportive fundamentals as increasing UTXO, BTC is trending above a 5-month resistance trend line visible in the weekly chart meaning odds of higher highs will be sustained more so if this week ends up bullish as prices edge close to $4,500. At the moment—and considering candlestick arrangement, traders should look for undervaluation opportunities in smaller time-frames, load up with the first target at $4,500.

Today's Bitcoin (BTC) News

It’s always a tussle of bulls and bears, supply–demand and holders versus speculators. When the dust settles, it’s time to measure ROI. After last year’s damage, the community is looking forward and expecting a recovery towards $6,000–$8,000 zone.

It’s an ambitious target—especially after last year’s freeze. However, in a propitious environment—that is, the entry of the much sought-after institutional grade and HNWIs possible only through a regulated, US SEC approved Bitcoin ETF, then the resulting lift-out can stretch prices back to $10,000, overwhelming bulls whose limits have been capped as prices range. So far, adoption is propping prices.

Amazon owned Twitch might have dropped support of BTC and BCH payment but it is in the merchant plane where there is real action. One of the largest online retailers in Switzerland accepts Bitcoin and while at it, the scalable, high throughput and secure LN is gaining traction. It has a capacity of over $4 million and the double of nodes are increasing in double digits.

But that is not all. More merchants now accept Bitcoin because of LN instantaneous settlement. With news that the largest Railway company in Japan has plans of accepting crypto and most definitely Bitcoin, it’s only a matter of time before prices unshackle themselves from “institutional demand” or from regulators, operate as it is as organic supply-demand dynamics prop prices.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

Even with increasing adoption, Bitcoin prices are ranging after Mar 21 explosions. This was expected and often prints out after periods of unexpected volatility. It is up 1.2 percent from last week’s close but finding resistance at $4,200. That’s at $4,200 which is also the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement level of Feb 24 highs low.

All in all, we are bullish but the failure of bulls to build enough momentum, drive prices above $4,200 complete with high transaction volumes above this minor resistance means there is general weakness that may allow bears of Feb 24 to flow back, ruining our rosy BTC price prediction.

As reiterated in our last BTC/USD, risk-averse and conservative traders need to wait for a sharp break and close above Dec 2018 highs before initiating longs with first targets at $6,000. It’s easy to see why. The $4,500 level is a key resistance level, the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement mark of Nov-Dec bear leg and should bulls overcome sell pressure, then that would be a breakout off the $1,300 with bases at $3,200 or Dec 2018 lows. Afterwards, demand would easily propel prices to $6,000.

Today's Bitcoin News

The bad news is you cannot authoritatively value a crypto asset. It is a service platform that doesn’t generate cash flow and the hype element introduces another level of complexity. Coupled with space’s unregulated nature allowing crypto exchanges operating from jurisdiction keen on cashing in than regulation, the fear of fake volumes were recently confirmed.

Studies by Bitwise Management found that as much as 95 percent of all crypto related trade volumes were exaggerated and in essence manufactured. This is a worrying trend and as solid research data unveils the dirty side of crypto—deliberate volume manipulation for profit, private keys, hacks and now lack of effective monitoring, chances of the US SEC giving the green lights for any of the nine Bitcoin ETF applications are scampered.

In one way or another, the advantages offered by a global product with no downtime is attractive and appeals to retail investors. However, cautious but regulated institutional investors with deep pockets are needed to stabilize the market.

At one time when Bitcoin prices were at the peak in late 2017, it was thought that the entry of CBoE and CME—who announced their decision to close doors and reassess the viability of a crypto related futures product—would draw these folks but it never.

Coincidentally, the most unfortunate thing happened: prices slide before accelerating to a complete meltdown by Q2 2018. Bitcoin ETF, a regulated fund allowing the SEC to have one last stab of control, promises to streamline the industry.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

As I type this, Bitcoin prices are stable and literally struggling against sellers. BTC sellers appear to be pressing the pedal, heaping pressure on traders forcing liquidation. However, what is encouraging is the temporary support at $4,000, our psychological round number, which happens to mark Mar 16 and 21 lows. In an effort versus result perspective, buyers have an upper hand because Mar 16 bulls had high volumes—13k against Mar 21—11k.

However, recent sell-off is at the 61.8 percent Fibonacci level of Feb 24 high low, a critical reversal point meaning there is an element of weakness, headwinds, preventing bulls from trudging forward and printing above our immediate resistance at $4,500.

If anything, it is imperative that prices break above this $1,300 trade range marked by $3,200 on the lower side (Dec 2018 lows) and $4,500—Dec 2018 highs, allowing for a rally towards $6,000—our breakout level in a retest phase.

Note that if prices fail to do that, we may see further liquidation because the $4,500 is the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement level of Nov-Dec 2018 bear leg. That could mean a meltdown below Dec 2018 lows towards the dreaded $1,800 mark.

Today's Bitcoin News

Well, with every fat finger, it is pretty hard not to ask questions. It’s just uncomfortable bury one’s head and assumes that there is nothing happening since it is staining for Bitcoin as a platform opening up previous false claims that the network is indeed a money laundering arena.

Even so, at this rate, tax men will take notice and raise their red flags. Days after another sending error saw one user pay huge fees for simple BTC transactions, on Mar 13, another user sent a mere 0.78 BTC transaction but for that amount, ended up paying a whopping $7828 in miner fees. It is eye-brow raising and the always curious Reddit community are beginning to ask hard questions. Topping the list is whether the lucky miner is directly controlled by the transaction sender.

If so, then this would turn out to be an elaborate money laundering scheme with applicable miner fee sanitizing dirty money. The immediate recommendation is fixing this protocol error despite the government machinery and capacity to track every transaction and mining node.

While it is desirous that something has to be done to amend Fee-rates, it may take a while considering how Bitcoin related upgrades are contentious, dragging for months on end.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

At the time of press, Bitcoin is clearly under pressure but still trading along the 20-day moving average. Nonetheless–and even with the threat of liquidation, bulls are in control and they will have the upper hand as long as they maintain prices above the upper limit of our support level at $3,500.

Note that in a lower time-frame bullish breakout pattern, $3,800 will be a level of interest and it is only after prices edge past $4,000 is when traders can be comfortable, expecting prices to rally and edge past $4,500. Cementing our prediction are weak bears who are somehow held within Mar 5 high low meaning from an effort versus results perspective, bulls have the upper hand.

We have reiterated this on previous BTC/USD trade plans and the more prices consolidate horizontally, the more the likelihood that prices will break above $4,000 as the bulls of Mar 4-5 are awakened further catalyzing demand BTC.

Before then, risk-off, aggressive traders should take advantage of this calm and load on every dip in lower time frames with tight stops around $3,700 or Mar 5 lows. Modest targets will be at $4,500 or Dec 2018 highs. On the flip side, any liquidation below $3,700 and $3,500 predisposes Bitcoin to bears aiming at $1,800.

Bitcoin (BTC) Technical Analysis: March 5, 2019

Latest Bitcoin (BTC) News

It is the end of the road for the embattled CEO, Francesco Firano of BitGrail exchange.

After deliberation and factoring in all evidence, an Italian court has found the entrepreneur personally liable for the $180 million hack and he will, therefore, reimburse all the sums as restitution to the exchange’s clients. Early last year, the exchange came under attack and a “hacker” made away with $195 million worth of Nano—17 million Nano coins disappeared.

Initial investigation revealed that the failure was on the exchange’s part as they held all Nano coins in a hot wallet against industry security practices. That’s not all, court papers indicate that BitGrail nodes made the request several times and allowed the funds to leave the exchange’s wallet.

“[It] was the BitGrail exchange that actually requested to the node multiple times to allow the funds to leave the wallet (funds that in fact, had already left the account after the first request) and not the Nano network that allowed multiple withdrawals. The shortfall reported by Firano in February was caused by a transfer request generated by BitGrail multiple times upon receiving a single request from the user.”

This is a landmark ruling and already, Firano has been forced to surrender $1 million in cash and other assets including cars as restitution begins. Will this set precedence and kickstart a process where reckless exchanges are held liable for asset losses? Good news is, Japanese FSA have stringent measures in place as they protect investors against such heavy losses.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

In recent days, Bitcoin (BTC) has been under pressure and is down 2.2 percent in the last week. Even so, we are bullish expecting prices to recover now that the world’s most valuable coin is trading within a bullish breakout pattern after closing above $3,800 on Feb 18.

As mentioned in our previous trade plans, risk off traders can buy on every dip with the first target at $4,500 as long as support is found above $,3700—800 zone—where prices are currently oscillating at. While ceilings are clear at $4,500, the fact that sellers are yet to comprehensively confirm losses of Feb 24 points to increasing BTC demand in lower time frames.

Any spike in transaction volumes that will subsequently lead to today’s bar closing as a bull bar as will cement our assertion. Ideally, volumes above 40k that prints a bull bar will spur interest and from candlestick arrangement could lead to a breakout above the $1000 consolidation as prices march to $6,000. If not and prices dip below $3,500—our lower limits, then odds are Bitcoin could collapse back to $3,200 or lower.

Latest Bitcoin News

New York is one of the largest states in the US but thwarting the rapid spread of cryptocurrencies are stringent regulations put forth by the NYDFS demanding that all cryptocurrency related businesses serving NY residents must apply and obtain a license, a BitLicense, before rolling out their services. Few like Winklevoss Brother’s Gemini are compliant but the majority like CoinBase are obviously apprehensive, preventing NY users from purchasing digital assets like XRP as mentioned when they historically supported the world’s third-largest coin.

Considering the global and even unregulated nature of cryptocurrencies and stipulations that all BitLicense holding firm must submit reports and disclose their financials, most VCs are not willing to go down the tedious disclosure route. However, by the look of things, California might be following the NY route if the AB-1489 Virtual Currency Businesses: Regulation bill sails through. The bill, as controversial as it is, will enact the Uniform Regulation of Virtual Currency Businesses Act meaning all businesses engaged in cryptocurrencies must either be registered with the Department of Business Oversight or be licensed.

Besides, the bill will explicitly define virtual currency as money but not legal tender, set out rules for licensure which also include “provisions for recognition of a license from another state” while granting “department specified enforcement authority over these businesses, including specified civil penalties.” No doubt, if this bill is passed then crypto businesses will flock out of California giving a pass to regulated ones as Gemini room to cement their position and market themselves as a compliant entity. To some degree, liquidity will suffer but will recover always.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

All the same, Bitcoin prices are stable but with increasing volumes over the last couple of days, prices seem to be accumulating.

Despite this optimism, we must note that there is liquidation pressure mainly because of events of Feb 24 when BTC prices caved in, sinking and printing double-digit losses by trading day’s close. Add this to a top-down approach which places bears at an advantage confirmed by an effort versus result analysis due to the failure of bulls to reverse losses of Feb 24, it is likely that Bitcoin prices will slide.

However, since there has been no follow through and prices are accumulating above the all-important breakout and support level at $3,800, risk-off or aggressive type of traders can buy on dips with first targets at $4,500—Dec 2018 highs. It is only after there is a conclusive break and closes above $4,500 that risk-on, conservative traders—as stated in previous BTC/USD analysis, can buy on dips with first targets at the elusive $6,000.

Latest Bitcoin News

Americans and Europeans learned a lot from the great financial crisis of the 2008-09. Meanwhile, the Japanese are still recovering from the hammering of the real estate crisis of 1989-90. The Black Swan and 30 years later, the economy is struggling and ravaged by deflation and near zero government bond yields. While government interventions were borne out of the Black Swan, the GFC birthed a revolutionary currency, a blockchain based solution that excise weakness of government issued coins—transparency and trust.

With no third parties, Bitcoin is increasingly becoming a savior to citizens in countries under economic distress. It is particularly changing lives in Venezuela and as the political duel between the opposition and the incumbent spiral into a humanitarian crisis, at least citizens can once and for all save their stash in censorship resistant and global coin immune to local politicking—Bitcoin.

Records show that the peer to peer exchange LocalBitcoins is printing record volumes and even as the government survey transactions, it cannot stop users from buying the new digital gold as it the only route to prevent a possible financial suicide.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

What we have in the daily chart is a classic double bar bear reversal pattern fuelled by above-average trade volumes. While unexpected as it is, the liquidation leads to a dark engulfing bar and may be the precursor for a further sell-off in days ahead.

Note that BTC is technically bearish and as long as prices are trading below Dec 2018 highs of $4,500—according to data streams from BitFinex, there is a real possibility of prices melting below $3,800 and $3,500 as sellers of mid-Nov 2018 flow back.

All the same, we shall retain a bullish outlook and this position is taken simply because of favorable price action as well as low trade volumes registered yesterday. It is true, the bar had high volumes but at the end of the day, volumes were below those of Feb 18—37k.

Besides, Feb 18 gains are yet to be reversed. However, that depends on today’s price action. If sellers press higher today and wipe those gains, it is likely that prices will drop to $3,800—our breakout level. Any break below this level could trigger a temporary sell-off towards $3,500 and it the reaction at this lower limit that would determine price trajectory of the next few weeks.

As many of our readers are probably well aware of, the past few days have seen Bitcoin [BTC] make a strong rally— with the premier digital currency now hovering around the $3,900 mark. However, despite all of this recent bullish momentum, BTC has not been able to move past its closest resistance level of USD $4,000.

In the wake of all these developments, many experts now believe that the price of Bitcoin is destined to stoop a little lower before finally crossing the $4,000 threshold.

Regardless Of Ongoing Surge, Market Conditions At Large Remain Bearish for Bitcoin

On the subject of Bitcoin’s recent market ascent, eToro’s Mati Greenspan, recently spoke with a reputable media outlet wherein he claimed that while BTC’s ongoing financial push was a good sign for the currency, the crypto market at large was still in the grips of heavy bearish conditions.

Elaborating further on his stance, Greenspan was quoted as saying:

“For those who are in from the bottom it’s great because some of the coins like Litecoin have doubled, but we are still in a strong bear market…The big level isn’t until $5,000, which coincides with the 200-day moving average. If we get a strong break of that, that’s when things start to change,”

It is also worth mentioning that Greenspan is of the opinion that as-and-when Bitcoin is able to break beyond the $4k mark, the price-point will turn ”into a support level for the asset”.

A More Detailed Look At The Matter

On the subject of BTC’s impressive performance, an online trader by the name of Flood recently took to Twitter to tell his followers that the premier crypto asset

“will most likely stoop to $3,800 before surging once again”.

Flood, who has over 60K followers on the above mentioned social media platform was also quoted as saying:

I'd imagine we see a sweep of 3800 in order for larger players who missed the move to fill up on some longs and reduce some short hedges. This should be followed by a sharp bounce. $BTC seems fairly bullish here, but if 3700 breaks I wouldn't stay in any longs… pic.twitter.com/eub2NVgzM8

Similarly, Josh Rager, another independent cryptocurrency analyst said that if his estimates are to be believed, Bitcoin needs to break past the $4K mark if it wants to stay in the $4,500 region. However, he also noted that BTC could face new lows in the coming few weeks if market support starts to dry up.

Final Take

In rounding off this piece, it now remains to be seen how the future of the digital-asset market plays out. However, if this current market momentum can be maintained, it is quite likely that we will see BTC scale above the $4.5k mark fairly soon.

The past week has been great for Bitcoin and the whole crypto market overall. After hovering in the $3,600 level for a month, the market finally saw some positive momentum last weekend. Since then, Bitcoin’s price gained over 10% and was able to find new support. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $3,999 if the current level can hold the market may regain some newfound confidence.

In recent news, Senior Vice President Jesse Lund of IBM is bullish on Bitcoin. In an interview with Crypto Finder at the recent IBM Think Conference, when asked for his prediction of Bitcoin’s price for New Year’s eve of 2019 he said:

“I think it’s going to be higher. I’ll go with $5,000. But let me just say this, I have a long term outlook. [] I see bitcoin at a million dollars someday, and I like that number because [] if Bitcoin is at a million dollars, then Satoshi is on value parity with the US penny.”

Definitely a bold prediction but one that does make perfect sense. Jesse also mentioned Stellar with their partnership with chain called interstellar and how they were looking to commercialize the decentralized exchange already existing on the Stellar network.

On another note, Chonis Trading on twitter showcased his pattern analysis using fib extensions. His opinion is that unless Bitcoin closes above $4k, there will be strong rejection.

$BTC – Since Bitcoin $20k every oversold bounce (1) has been followed up by a lower high bounce (2) that gets rejected right around the .55fib extension of the previous bullish impulsive move. Breaking this trend has #bitcoin closing over $4k otherwise another strong rejection… pic.twitter.com/9agBo9rxxN

For the bulls out there, one can only hope that BTCUSD at least stays at this level to establish strong support, otherwise we may see a dip back down to the mid $3,000s.

Another chart by @CryptoChartsJoe on twitter is quite bullish on Bitcoin. Looking at the 4 hour chart, the price could be considered trading in a bull flag, meaning there is more positive momentum in the near future. As of right now things are looking pretty good but the trading volume needs to stay high in order to continue with the positive momentum

$BTC#bitcoin 4 hour chart showing that price could be considered trading in a Bull Flag pattern. These patterns generally break to the top side, and price breaks out.

Last but not least, let’s take a look at another bearish chart. Cryptopreneur on twitter is using the ichimoku technical indicator to predict a new low for Bitcoin in the near future.

It’s obvious there are plenty of varying opinions on Bitcoin’s price as of right now. Even with the recent bull run, most traders are still skeptical of a trend reversal. That is understandable as calling a trend reversal on a year long bearish run will take much more than a 10% rise.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $4055 with an RSI of 70. The RSI is still in the healthy threshold but just barely. If the price rises any more the indicator will signal an overbought market. Bollinger bands tell a similar story with the current price being at the upper limit of the indicator. It wouldn’t be unlikely for BTCUSD to retreat a bit before deciding on its next move.

Latest Bitcoin News

Marking the growth of any business is not more of the price but of adoption level. As a proven utility, over the years, the exponential growth of Bitcoin has been nothing but impressive. Marking demand has the precipitous rise of prices from lows of less than $100 to current spot rates of $3,950–or thereabout depending on where you draw data.

All the same, a better measure is adoption and in recent times, the advent of the Lightning Network–though in beta–promises to be shaping. In less than a year, the Bitcoin Scaling proposal continues to draw funding from tech luminaries including Jack Dorsey. Interestingly, he is not shy to say Bitcoin–despite competition from emerging currencies will be the undisputed internet’s money and to that end, he has plans in place to integrate the high throughput, low fee scaling option in Cash.

That will no doubt mean a further expansion in capacity meaning there will be more people who can make micro-payment using Bitcoin paying for coffee and even Pizza. Note that, through Lightning Pizza, Bitcoin holders in the users can at any time order and spend their BTC for Pizza in a move that will cement Bitcoin as a medium of exchange and an upcoming competitor for government-issued fiat. That’s not all, Trading View— a site where traders, as well as investors, are draw market insight now, accepts BTC, unpegged from fiat, at 0.09 BTCs.

Bitcoin BTC/USD Price Analysis

Price wise, BTC is up three percent in the last 24 hours and that means prices are trending above Feb 8 highs. As it is, our anchor bar is Feb 8 and as a high volume bar, it is trendsetting and shapes price action in the short-term.

Moving on, it is clear that trade conditions set in our last trade plans are true and with a high-volume bull bar now thrusting prices above $3,800, the path towards $4,500–Dec 2018 highs and later $5,800–$6,000 are now paved.

It’s easy to see why. Not only does this bar complement those of Feb 8 but also bring forth price action of mid-Dec 2018 and as long as prices find support at 78.6 percent Fibonacci retracement mark of Dec 2018 high low, the path towards $4,800 appear inevitable. In that case, risk off traders can at any time fine tune entries in lower time frames with first targets at $4,500 and if prices are extended, then $5,800 and even $6,000.

The current price of Bitcoin is $3594 (Bitmex pricing via Trading View), with 24 hour volume leveling around 6.4 billion USD. Bitcoin maintained the territory gained last Friday by consolidating in the $3575-3675 price range. Positive sentiment has been reverberated throughout the crypto community since $BTC ‘s ~11% gain on the 8th of February.

At this time, the Bravado team’s sentiment is becoming bullish. Our team recognizes a few indicators that suggest the market is moving in the right direction.

1. Volume

The highest volume single-day candle in 2019 now belongs to the bulls (February 8th). When we consider where this candle occurred, in what is almost certainly now considered a falling wedge (bullish price structure) charting pattern, we can presume Bitcoin bulls were happy to step in, once again, in the low 3k’s.

https://www.tradingview.com/x/lsuN2jGP/

2. MACD

Higher time frame analysis for Bitcoin’s MACD is printing bullish crossovers on nearly every time frame from 12hr or greater. Even the weekly MACD is attempting a crossover. The weekly MACD hasn’t successfully crossed bullish since October of 2016 when the price of Bitcoin was ~$700.

https://www.tradingview.com/x/zNC70aQx/

3. First Interaction with 50-day MA (D)

Bitcoin’s price interacted (February 8th, @ $3725) with the 50-day moving average for the first time since January 8th, 2018. Although $BTC was rejected on its first attempt to crack the 50-day MA, the corn has consolidated there and appear to be gearing up for another run.

Based on these indicators, we assume $BTC could provide a show if it is able to best the 50MA. Right now, the moving average sits right at $3670. If $BTC can break that resistance and then retest the 50MA as support, we will become very confident in the crypto markets for the next few weeks.

https://www.tradingview.com/x/gJkGla2c/

Until a break of the 50MA occurs, we will hold a bearish mindset while we monitor whether $BTC can tackle the $3670-3690 price range.

Latest Bitcoin News

A while back, the former head of NASDAQ projected that by 2022, all tradable instruments including Real estate, stocks and bonds would be tokenized. If that is the case then the world would be tokenized in the next three years according to Robert Greifeld and we know what will happen if the global stock market valued market cap is valued at around $73 trillion is broken down to divisible assets that everyone can own—extreme demand, liquidity and an immediate spike in asset as well as asset market capitalization.

The global stock market stands at $73 trillion but the combined value of the stock, bond, and real estate market cap is estimated to be around $503 trillion. Tokenization would not only mean an immediate windfall for coin asset prices but new regulator demands would emerge. Note that the SEC has the hands off these assets and to ensure fair playing field, rules have been formulated to punish those who flout these bare minimums.

On the other side, Bitcoin and most assets operate under the premise of decentralization and are global. This means applicable rules in one state may not apply in other areas opening out fractures that can be exploited for personal gains.

The modus operandi and the open-end nature complete tokenization combined with decentralization is what makes Jay Clayton wary of approving a Bitcoin ETF. To the SEC, before this new product rollout, sponsoring exchanges should employ better monitoring tools to prevent market manipulation.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

BTC bulls are back. Following Friday’s super surge from spot rates, it is clear that bulls found support, bouncing off $3,500 at the back of decent volumes. All the same, this is bullish and as long as prices are above $3,500, we expect bulls to jump in and propel asset prices above $4,500 and even to $6,000.

While we may be bullish thanks to the injection of demand, we also recommend patience. Our minor bull trigger is at $3,800. It wasn’t retested on Friday neither was the follow through bars strong enough to close above this mark.

All we can see is that bulls of late Dec were confirmed as prices continue to oscillate horizontally inside a $1,000 range with caps at $4,500—Dec 2018 highs and recent lows of $3,500—Data streams from BitFinex.

As such, our previous BTC/USD trade plans hold true meaning it is only until after BTC surge above $3,800 that we shall initiate first positions with first targets at $4,500. Ideally, gains above Dec highs satisfactorily confirm bulls of the week ending Dec 23, 2018, forming the basis for a possible wave of higher highs with first targets at $5,800–$6,000 zone.

Bitcoin (BTC) Weekly Price Analysis: Feb 9, 2019

General Market Overview

From Monday when the evaluation of the cryptocurrency market cap has been around $113,5 billion and has mostly hovered around those levels until Wednesday when it fell to the horizontal support at around $111,5 billion.

As the evaluation interacted with the horizontal support level for the second time it has retested and validated the presence of support which led to a bounce from the level and another retest yesterday when the evaluation came down to $111,215,000,000 at its lowest point.

Since yesterday’s interaction, the price has started increasing impulsively and as the momentum behind the move was strong both of the horizontal resistance line’s were broken and the evaluation came back to retest it for support, and judging by the current the support is where since the evaluation is staring another upward trajectory currently sitting at $121,738,107,086.

Bitcoin’s market dominance has conversely been decreasing as it came down from 53.78% at its highest point of the week on Wednesday to 52.83% at its lowest point today.

For those familiar with my work I have always stated that the evaluation of Bitcoin’s market dominance serves as an inverse indicator of the market’s sentiment – if we are seeing the depreciation of Bitcoin’s market dominance that means that the market participants are feeling confident and are most likely buying altcoins with their Bitcoin in an attempt to make more money, but if the Bitcoin’s market dominance increases that would indicate a bearish sentiment as investors are most likely selling their altcoin positions for Bitcoin in order to then sell their Bitcoin for fiat or a stable-coin in an attempt to preserve their capital against further market depreciation.

The market is green today with an average percentage of change among the top 100 coins ranging from 2.8-5.36%.

News

Even though there weren’t any significant headlines over the week that were impacting the market and especially considering we have seen the recent increase which you would expect to see for the fundamental reasons, but the reasons are most likely price action based.

The most notable headlines this week were the following. In the first category, we can fit the real numbers and fact regarding the state of affairs in the crypto industry. The first in line is the report by Diar which has shed some light at the trading activity in the current market.

Report: Crypto Exchanges Experience Lowest Trading Volumes Since 2017

>Trading volumes on cryptocurrency exchanges have dipped to new lows in January, according to an analysis published by crypto and blockchain research firm Diar on Feb. 4.

Since the beginning of the year, digital currency exchanges have reportedly registered lower trading volumes, marking new lows that have not been recorded since 2017. Diar further notes that it has turned to be the worst period for the world’s leading crypto exchange by adjusted trading volume, Binance, as its Bitcoin (BTC)/U.S. dollar (USD) market reduced by more than 40 percent in comparison to December 2018.

As for the major American cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, its BTC/USD market is purportedly also experiencing lows which have not been seen since May 2017, at around $1 billion.

This headline is of significance as it goes to show the fact that the majority of the speculative capital has left the market and the ones who are left are trading that much.

UAE to Discuss Blockchain and Digital Assets at 7th World Government Summit

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will discuss the development of blockchain and digital assets in the country’s economy at the 7th World Government Summit. The news was reported by business news outlet the Gulf Today on Feb. 7.

Russia to Implement Blockchain Tech in University Exam for Education Quality Control

The Russian Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Education and Science, (Rosobrnadzor) will implement blockchain technology in the country’s main graduation examination, major Russian news agency TASS reports Feb. 5.

Canada’s largest blockchain trade association, the Chamber of Digital Commerce has united with the Blockchain Association of Canada (BAC), which will now go by the Chamber of Digital Commerce Canada. The merger was announced in a press release posted on the Chamber of Digital Commerce website on Feb 5.

According to a statement made by the CEO of R3, David E. Rutter, the WSBA and R3 will collaborate in order to “advocate a strategic approach to collaborating with regulatory bodies so that financial markets, and beyond can gain the full benefits of blockchain’s capabilities.”

The WSBA is a non-profit trade association that promotes the general adoption of blockchain technology and crypto assets across international markets.

We can see that the major players are more and more starting to implement the blockchain technology in fin-tech especially and the adoption rate has been steadily increasing now especially among the big players as they are taking the advantage of the usefulness of the technology.

Bitcoin BTC/USD

From the start of the week on Monday 4th when the price of Bitcoin was $3506 at the open at the 0.618 Fibonacci level (blue), the price has been stuck in a horizontal range as it was in the second wave to the downside which was in time labeled as the impulsive 2nd wave as I was expecting another move to the downside like we have seen other times when the price broke out from the minor ascending channel.

The intersection between the falling wedge support and the horizontal support zone to $3340 was of interest for the potential ending point of the Minot WXYXZ correction but the correction ended on the same horizontal support level as the prior low at $3430.

When the Minor correction ended that meant that the Intermediate X wave ended ad the impulsive move the upside was expected which is what happened so in this analysis we are going to examine how further up will the price of Bitcoin go before a retracement and could this be the bottom of the bear market?

Zooming into the 4-hour chart we can see that the price of Bitcoin has broken out impulsively from the falling wedge in which it was correcting from 24th of December when the first impulsive move to the upside appeared.

The current impulsive move to the upside is a continuation of that recovery as it is the WXY Intermediate correction to the upside after an impulsive 12345 move to the downside from when the price of Bitcoin was at around $6500.

Because this move is only corrective in nature after it ends more downside would be expected for the price of Bitcoin which makes the likelihood of a bottom low. We might see a retracement back to the same levels on which the lowest point from the start of the bear market is at around $3230 as we have seen now on a lower time frame, but first, let's look at how far the price of Bitcoin could go before that happens.

You can see the projected ghost bar candles are interacting with the bold black line which is the most significant resistance point to the upside. That was previously the baseline support line from the start of the bear market which was broken on the mentioned impulsive move to the downside from $6500 area.

The Intermediate WXY correction is most likely a retest of the prior support for the resistance and that confirmes the W wave ending point which ended as a rejection at that level which is what I believe will happen in the case of the Y wave. We might see a quick peek above it for interaction with the horizontal resistance level at $3994.

Since the X wave ended slightly higher than the beginning of the W wave, we might see the Y wave slightly higher than the W wave.

Zooming out into the daily chart you can see that there is a possibility of the Bitcoin’s price recovering all the way up to $4811 where the descending triangle’s resistance line is. This descending triangle has been the main corrective structure since the start of the bear market and his outline was well respected and retested numerous times until we have seen a breakout to the downside on 21th of November.

This triangle consists of three Minor corrections which are the WXY of the Intermediate count and the Y wave from a Cycle count (blue). If the Cycle Y wave ending on the previous downfall then we are seeing the development of the Intermediate WXY to the upside which would be the second wave X from the Cycle count. If this is true that the price could very likely go to the mentioned levels.

The other scenario would be that the Cycle wave Y hasn’t ended and that we are seeing the continuation of the previous Intermediate WXY out of which the currently labeled Interstate WXY would be the second X wave. In that case, the target for the Y wave would be at the prior baseline support now serving as resistance and the price would head for another low as then the Z wave should start developing, ending potentially at $2926 horizontal level. This would be the end of the Cycle wave Y and then the second X wave would start.

In either way, in the upcoming period, I would be expecting more upside for the price of Bitcoin.

Market Sentiment

Bitcoin is in the buy zone as indicated by the 4-hour chart technicals with moving averages signaling a strong buy.

Conclusion

The positive sentiment is starting to overrule the market both in price action and in the news. We are seeing the start of the expected recovery which is most likely going to last by the end of the next week and with small retracements along the way. The cryptocurrency market is headed for some more green days but that period is limited since this is an only correctional recovery before we are to see new lows for the prices and the market in general.

The speculative capital has been leaving the market which is a good thing so the underperforming projects that were relying on the hype are going down the total shakeout will occur before we see the market bottom out.

In the meantime, people are catching up and the adoption rate is going up as well as the technological improvements of the blockchain technology itself and the number of services is constantly increasing in an attempt to ease of the onboarding process for the new potential users which are a good thing.

The utility is going up and the technology is catching up which is why ultimately the new spark of interest will be ignited in the near future so unlike the last time the general public was interested in the cryptos this time the promise of the making money isn’t going to be enough which is why the industry needs to be ready for the influx of new users.

This would only bring maturity to the market and help it push toward global recognition and acceptance.

Bitcoin (BTC) Technical Analysis: February 4, 2019

Latest Bitcoin Price Analysis

In crypto there are risks. Measures are in place to make vital infrastructure as secure as possible and with regulators in place, implementation of security features as a way of preventing crime is mandatory in most territories. The FSA in Japan mandates every exchange to register and submit reports on a regular basis while South Korea’s FSC will always breathe fire. And it is understandable especially for victims who had to contend with heavy losses with no recourse or recompense in site.

Mt. Gox was a huge loss for victims and deflated interest in the space but Japanese authorities are doing a pretty good job putting founders to the task, confiscating wallets and trailing stolen coins. But it is the ongoing civil rehabilitation suit that is a ray of hope for many.

A trustee–Nobuaki Kobayashi– manages recovered loot and as investors seek for payouts, Coinlab may end up blocking all this after raising their stake from $75 million to $16 billion. They appear flippant, baseless and not in sync with what others are seeking out for which is compensation for lost funds. Instead, Coinlab is seeking damages from breach of contract.

Questions are now beginning to emerge with Redditors claiming that this is a deliberate attempt by Coinlab to hijack the Civil Rehabilitation voting process.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

Back to price action and BTC is back to red. It is down 2.6 percent in the last week but pretty stable on the last day. Everything else constant, our last BTC/USD trade plan is valid. However, this bullish stance is dependent on how price action turns out to be in the next few hours.

Any break and close below the lower limit of our support level at $3,500 could see the coin meltdown, via panic sells, back to $3,200 or lower by close of the week. That’s undesirable but stands to happen mostly because of the lack of support for BTC prices in the last few days.

Note that even after Jan 29-30 double bull bar, there was no confirmation and buyers didn’t maintain the pump necessary to wipe out losses of Jan 28 completing a three bar bull reversal pattern, the Morning Star.

Moving on, we shall retain a solid but clear trade plan: BTC is bullish if and only if there are no confirmations of yesterday’s losses with prices springing above $3,800 by the end of the week. If not, it is likely that we are going to see sell-offs in days ahead. Note that losses below $3,500 confirms Jan 10 and Jan 20 bear bars forming the basis for a complete reversal of mid-Dec—early Jan rallies whose bases are at $3,200.

Bitcoin (BTC) Technical Analysis: January 28, 2019

Latest Bitcoin News

There is a sweeping wave across Europe and America acknowledging the advantages of DLTs and their products as cryptocurrencies. States as Texas, Wyoming and New Hampshire don’t accept Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as money—not yet, but property whose gains are subject to taxes.

Aside from Wyoming, New Hampshire and Indiana may follow the Wyoming route and by 2020, they may have an arrangement with a third party where businesses can pay their taxes in BTC straight to the State’s treasurer. This is interesting and although it is not express, there are hints that cryptocurrencies are no longer tools for money laundering and other vices. As investors set their eyes on the SEC, Italy is one step away from rolling out a decree that will guide the interpretation of crypto assets and their use.

The Decreto Semplificazioni got the approval of the Italian Senate Committee of Constitutional Affairs and Public Works on Wednesday last week and once the decrees set out in the document has the final approval from the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic, then it will be all systems go.

If anything, different government sectors will make use of the inherent properties specific to blockchains such as time stamping which the decree said can be used to legitimize official documents and contracts.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

In the meantime, BTC is down 6.8 percent at the time of press. Unfortunately, it seems like the path of least resistance is southwards and part of this is today’s bear candlestick that sparks from a sell-off during the Asian session.

While we remain overly bullish and expecting prices to recover in coming days, BTC prices are at a periphery, at an edge and could at any time collapse under immense sell pressure of the last 24 hours confirming strong losses of Jan 10.

Note that, prices are hovering at the 78.6 percent Fibonacci retracement level at $3,500 which is not only a vital level as BTC/USD price action is concerned but because the level marks the lower limit of our support zone as laid out in a previous analysis.

Going forward, it will be imperative for traders to take note and realize that the temporary withdrawal of Bitcoin ETF could be deflating but at the same time, candlestick arrangement isn’t supportive of BTC bulls. The fact that we are in a temporary bull run thanks to late Dec—early Jan higher highs doesn’t mean sellers can step up and reverse those gains.

We recommend caution and from an effort versus result approach, buyers would be back in contention once there are solid gains above $4,500 recovering losses of Jan 10 as prices rally above $4,500 sparking a buying frenzy that will eventually push prices towards $6,000. If this isn’t the case and prices tumble below $3,500 in the coming days, then we may see an inevitable sell off with first targets at $3,200.

Bitcoin (BTC) Technical Analysis: January 21, 2019

Latest Bitcoin (BTC) News

Crypto is an emerging field and after gaining widespread attention thanks to the +2,000 percent plus rallies of late 2017, it attracted investors, traders, speculators—and regulators. Regulators may be out and about their business, executing their mandate but their eyes are fixed on centralized exchanges. Just like continuous maintenance of the blockchain draw value, exchanges are vital and play a pivotal role not only in creating liquidity but are on-ramps that link traditional markets with crypto.

The lack of clear regulation may be an obstacle at the moment but that’s about to change. Aside from Japan and other ASEAN countries keen on embracing blockchain and their application, the US State of Wyoming is on the right path. In Q4 2018, they announced a partnership with BitPay allowing businesses to pay tax via BTC with the crypto processing firm, BitPay, handling the BTC—USD conversion.

Now, a Senator from the same state has put forth a proposal that would see BTC classified as money meaning it would be free from interest payment. No doubt, this is the step in the right direction. Add that to Japan’s FSA exemplary oversight of exchanges guaranteeing proper security as well as risk management practices, other countries or state may follow suit benefiting the ecosystem.

BTC/USD Price Analysis

Meanwhile, BTC is down but steady in the last week. All the same, the four percent drop was unexpected and dents buyer’s optimism. Anyhow, after 80 percent plus drops in 2018, prices appear to be bottoming and although yesterday’s losses could be deflating, there is a likelihood that buyers may build up momentum as prices race towards $3,800 and even above $4,100 complementing Dec 17 gains.

From candlestick arrangement, this is a long shot because effort versus result perspective means the inability of traders to propel prices above Jan 10 highs in the process recouping losses put sellers at the forefront. It has been made worse by the lack of conviction from market participants. From Jan 11—20, average volumes were low—at around 14k, and we cannot compare that with 35k of Jan 14. All the same, buyers may have a chance if there is a reversal from above these spot rates. This will confirm bulls of Dec 17 and more importantly the double bar bull reversal pattern evident in the weekly chart.

If there are reversal of yesterday’s losses and prices rally past $3,800 or the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement level of Dec 2018 high-low, BTC may retest $4,100 or $4,500 by end of the week. While drops below $3,500 or the 78.6 percent Fibonacci retracement level could feed bears aiming at $3,200.

Latest Bitcoin News

Crypto and Bitcoin prices are all over the place. Volatility is back and after temporary weeks of consolidation above the $5,800–$6,000 support—now important resistance level, November double-digit losses redefined short-term Bitcoin price trajectory. While traders are overly bullish despite losses and rejection of higher highs above the $4,500 mark, there is hope more so from a fundamental point of view.

Altogether, Bitcoin is an innovative solution that not only is a service to the unbanked–allowing for fast and cheap cross border settlement, but it also doubles up as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Other than that, it is an asset where arbitrage—read Kimchi Premium and normal price fluctuation provides a livelihood for traders as well as investors.

It may be because of this fluctuation that traditional economists are convinced that BTC is not good “money” as it is not stable enough and the SEC and the CFTC should see through full adherence. However, reports have it that the US congressman, Darren Soto of Florida’s ninth district is of the opinion that regulation of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin should fall squarely in the hands of the CFTC.

Meanwhile, the US Securities and Exchange Commission should go ahead and ensure full compliance on matters securities. In his view, securities laws are stringent and unless otherwise digital assets are classified as securities, the CFTC should be mandated to oversee compliance.

There is a general feel across the US that the country may be falling behind market leaders like Japan and South Korea on matters blockchain and cryptocurrency. Part of narrowing this tech gap involve formulating policies that aside from protecting consumers as required foster innovation.

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Price Analysis

All in all, last week was bloody and because of Jan 10 double-digit losses and rejection of higher highs above main resistance and psychological at $4,500 mean sellers are prime position after yesterday’s close below our previous support—now resistance line at $3,700.

From the chart, yesterday’s meltdown means BTC prices are now trending below the base of our bull flag. Besides, there is a full bear bar below $3,700 hinting that the overlying momentum is backed by a strong market participant.

Nevertheless, bulls are still optimistic and looking at the high volume bull bar of the week ending Dec 23. Bears are yet to claw back those gains and in an effort versus result scenario, breaks below Dec 2018 lows at $3,220 will break the back of resilience.

In that case, BTC may dip towards $3,000 and even the $1,500 mark. However, if there is support between now and $3,220—probably at the $3,450 level marking the 78.6 Fibonacci retracement level of Dec 2018 high low, we expect a rally back to $4,500.

Bitcoin (BTC) Technical Analysis: January 7, 2019

Latest Bitcoin News

Interesting times ahead and albeit thin transaction volumes, Bitcoin and altcoins bulls are raving, ready for a rally. Opinions are mixed but there is a general consensus that bears momentum is finally waning and this accumulation will finally confirm bulls of late December 2018.

But, that’s just their perspective anchored on candlestick formation. From the look of things, the market is vibrant and trading above $4,100 mostly because the team at iFinex has announced scheduled maintenance that will see both their exchanges—ETHFinex and BitFinex switch off for around three to eight hours.

Lessons can easily be drawn from past events and if we remember well, back on Aug 22, 2018, BTC prices rallied a massive $400 after Arthur Hayes’ BitMex shut down for maintenance. Perhaps yesterday’s rally is just a repetition of previous events but this time it’s important to note that BitFinex despite being plagued by controversies is a major player in the space. As such, odds are the market will be fragile as BitFinex and ETHFinex move servers from AWS to their data centers.

Together with the recently launched DEX, ETHFinex, iFinex companies control three percent of the total trading volume from $311,267,080 daily trading volumes drawn from BitFinex—ranked at 17th and ETHFinex–$118,803,282, ranked at 37th at the time of press when the total trading volume was $16,311,569,951 according to data from CoinGecko. As major players, expect crypto prices to fluctuate as liquidity is sucked out of the market.

Bitcoin Price Watch

Unsurprisingly, BTC commands the space and in the last day, the coin is up 6.1 percent against the USD and poised to add more thanks to today’s fundamental event. But, from the chart and as mentioned in previous BTC/USD price analysis, this was expected. If anything, it is highly likely that BTC prices will rally past $4,500 triggering conservative buys as the path towards the all-important $6,000 is set. It is easy to see why.

First, notice that BTC is down 75 percent from 2018 peaks and since price movements are cyclic in nature, we expect a reprieve from last year’s pits. Although gains are limited, the trend has been set and to guarantee that these series of higher highs are bulls flowing, there must be enough momentum above the all-important 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement level anchored on Nov-Dec 2018 high low.

Anything else and buyers would be dash confirming a strong bear momentum and even a slide back below $3,500 towards $3,220 or even lower in coming weeks. Otherwise, high-volume surge and close above psychological $4,500 would be a pass towards $6,000 and this will be our trade plan though aggressive trader can still buy at spot prices:

Buy: Spot, $4,500

Stop: $3,800, $4,100

Target: $5,800, $6,000

After everything is said and done, Bakkt’s objective will remain as it was: pave way for institutional crypto investment. From their homepage, Bakkt aim is to ‘to enable consumers and institutions to seamlessly buy, sell, store and spend digital assets.” To make this a reality, the platform “seeks to develop open technology to connect the existing market and merchant infrastructure to the blockchain.”

Obviously, the blockchain space is uncharted and at its formative stage. While we mark the 10th anniversary, there is no doubt that applications that depend on the underlying technology—blockchain will not only be disruptive but be the very vehicles through which investors will channel their hard-earned cash for big profits. Jed McCaleb said the damaging 2018 bear market was just but cooling off phase and there is more in the pipeline in weeks, days and even years ahead.

At the core, Bakkt will be an application and with backings from International Exchange—the owners of NYSE, there was no doubt from venture capitalist and individual investors that there is an opportunity in this near “virgin” territory and the goal of this platform guarantees future profits. As such, it came as no surprise that the first round of funding was a success. Bakkt managed to raise $182.5 million from 12 investors including Galaxy Digital, Microsoft and Boston Consulting Group.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis

At spot price, BTC is stable and up 1.8 percent against the USD in the last 24 hours. However, it is stable in the last week though we shall treat this as normal retracement after two weeks of higher highs.

From candlestick arrangement, bears might be in charge of a top-down approach but in the weekly and daily time frames, there is an opportunity for profit for buyers. As it is, clear support is around the $3,500-700 region and prices might expand in days to come more so if BTC price expands and extend above $4,100 or Dec 28 highs.

Notice that BTC price found support on Dec 28 mirroring the high volume bull bar of Dec 17 cementing our assertion that buyers are in charge and every dip is basically another buying opportunity.

We recommend buyers to load up at spot prices but for assurance, a better opportunity is available once BTC prices expand above $4,100 at the back of high volumes. Once this prints out, then traders can buy at a spot with stops at $3,900 and first target at $4,500 and later $5,000.

This shall be our BTC/USD trade plan:

Buy: $4,100

Stop: $3,900

Target: $4,500, $5,000

As can be seen from the chart above, RSI(14) is still on its way up. As a result of this, the price of BTC has somewhat re-corrected itself.

Additionally, it can also be seen that the overhead resistance zone is currently pegged at around $4.2k. With that being said, the overall financial condition of Bitcoin looks to be stable right now (temporarily) .

BTC A Short Term Forecast

Upon having a quick look at what the immediate future of BTC looks like, we can see that the currency’s RSI(14) is currently lying in the “overbought range”. This is not a good sign for the altcoin, since twice in the past when the premier asset was in this territory, it experienced a massive economic turndown.

In terms of its current price action, it appears as though Bitcoin will surge past the $4.2k resistance mark today . However, certain indicators seem to point towards a downtrend soon— with levels all set to drop to the $3K area again.

Final Take

While certain indicators are on the side of BTC at the moment, the currency’s long term position still appears to be quite risky at the moment. It now remains to be seen how the future of the premier crypto asset plays out.

Bears have been unforgiving, deflating investors and shaking to the core the real belief of crypto and Bitcoin. Even with these marauding bears, performance has been “stellar” outperforming other asset prices. Bitcoin performance has been better off than FANG stocks. Google, for example, is up 35 percent from Jan 2017 while Facebook is up 25 percent during the same period.

Meanwhile, in spite of the deleterious loss of 2018, Bitcoin is up 250 percent from early 2017 after surging from around $965 to spot prices of $3,300. Still, the fall is a whole 83 percent from the $20,000 peaks of 2017. Ironically, during this parabolic rise, investors were “begging” for prices to drop so they can enter at fair prices.

Well, prices did heed to their demand and it is for this reason that Weiss Rating is recommending investors to get in at spot prices. Of course, investors are hesitant but this is coming from an independent US research firm based in the US that has been in the investment game for more than 46 years.

Weiss often rates a variety of liquid assets—in the crypto and traditional financial world—providing further insight for traders and investors. Now, after sidelining Bitcoin for months, the alarms have been sounded but investors are obviously wary. In a tweet, Weiss said Bitcoin is here to stay and at spot prices, it is the best time to invest on the asset.

Still, the path of least resistance is southwards for most assets and BTC is no exception. Losses have tapered off in recent days but it is still down six percent in the last week but encouragingly up 1.8 percent in the last day at the time of press.

While this is obviously boosting more so for investors and traders who need a tinge of positivity after absorbing wild shocks for the better part of the year, our trade conditions as laid out in previous BTC/USD trade plans are yet to be met.

Then we insisted that for bulls to be in charge then we need to see strong gains above the $3,500-700 resistance zone. This might open doors for $4,500 or higher by the end of the year. If not and BTC drop below $3,000 we might see further panic selling driving prices towards $2,500 and even $1,500 by Q1 2019.

In this time frame, BTC/USD prices are stable and consolidating within a $600 range marked by last week’s lows at around $3,200 and Dec 8 highs of around $3,800.

If anything, this is positive more so if this accumulation leads to gains above $3,700 ushering in the first wave of buyers as mentioned above. But first, encouraging expansions above $3,400 could jolt aggressive traders into action. Their first targets will be $3,700-800 resistance.

However, if this ends up being a distribution and there are drops below Dec 15 lows at $3,200 then chances are bears will blast below $3,000 causing panic sells. That is not what we want to see because it will increase drawdown levels and this will have adverse effects on the network’s hash rate as miners bail off.

Our ideal BTC/USD trade plan will be as follows:

Buy: $3,400

Stop: $3,200

First Target: $3,700—800, $4,500

The crypto market could be making a comeback. It’s up $90 billion in the last 24 day and during that time, there has been a lot of speculation on what’s could be behind this resurgence of buy activity. One theory is that after 11 months of steep declines, the BTC/USD market is naturally correcting. A dead cat bounce before trickling lower back to the $2,500 levels as projected by Bobby Lee the co-founder of BTCC.

Well, that will be disheartening and something that we don't like to see. Yet another proposal is the increasing use of Square’s Cash App. After getting the Bit License from New York’s DFS, users of the app can not only send and receive cash but they can buy and sell Bitcoin right off the platform. What’s more, the application is mobile.

In fact, statistics indicate that the number of downloads has been on the rise even surpassing that of Venmo—which is backed by PayPal. This points to increasing use activity which the community needs. It also coincides with reports that the number of Bitcoin-related transactions could surpass that of MasterCard.

At the same time, the number of Lightning Network nodes, channels and transactions keep rising, with the capacity increasing 318 percent to $1,653,560.63 at the time of press.

BTC/USD Daily Chart

Obviously, the trend is bearish and in line with our previous BTC/USD trade plan, the only time we expect buyers to be in control is when prices expand above $4,500. It’s our main resistance level and a buy trigger of our interest.

Though the market appears to be recovering, volumes are light and even if we have a double bar bull reversal pattern of Dec 7-8, volumes are low and below average. Still, BTC/USD is still oscillating inside Dec 8 high low and before we suggest short-term buys with first targets at $4,500, then we need to see confirmation of yesterday’s bulls.

That means expansion above Dec 8 highs at around $3,800 at the back of high trade volumes.

BTC/USD 4HR Chart

Trading as above, we look to scalp the market and trading along the trend set in motion by Dec 8-9 bulls.

Already BTC is finding support at $3,270—last week’s lows. Despite the trend is bearish, we shall look to initiate long positions if and only if there are gains above $3,800 or Dec 8, 2300 HRs, above the average bull bar—17k versus 8k average.

Once that prints out then our first target will be $4,500 with stops at Dec 9 lows at $3,470.

Therefore, this is how we shall trade the BTC/USD pair:

Buy: $3,800

Stop: $3,470

First Target: $4,500

Estonia–like Malta and just recently the Bahamas, is extremely open to technology and that includes the value proposition of blockchain and its ambition of disrupting traditional businesses. They even had a plan of creating their own national cryptocurrency but being a member of the EU, the idea was opposed by the ECB and Mario Draghi forcing them to retreat.

Now, just days after passing a new Financial bill, reports indicate that Estonia plans to update the Anti Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act in order to comply with EU’s Fourth Money Laundering Prevention Directive by including crypto related clauses as “virtual currency exchange service providers” and “virtual currency payment service providers”. By doing so, the country’s regulator Estonian Financial Supervision Authority (FI) will be sealing loopholes preventing undesirable elements from laundering money via crypto exchanges and other service providers.

Meanwhile, it is becoming increasingly clear that the participation of regulators means cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology is here to stay. This was recently asserted by Wynn Davies, North America Managing Director at Accenture who went ahead and said that blockchain is the single piece technological innovation in business which cannot be ignored.

In the meantime, Jay Clayton while issuing a disclaimer—his comments don’t represent that of the SEC– said new technology and related projects should be compliant with time-tested rules set by the commission and that there should be a change of investor protection just because it is new technology.

He also went ahead and said Bitcoin is a utility since no entity controls it. Besides, it also acts a medium of exchange much more like Yen, Euro or the USD.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis

BTC/USD Weekly Chart

Overly, the market is expectant and even though BTC prices are stable, trending inside last week’s high low, the fact that prices are also moving within week ending Nov 25 high low mean sellers are in charge. It’s easy to see why.

Notice that when we take a top-down approach it’s easy to see we can see a whole bear bar printing below $5,800 main resistance level and as a price tag of our concern, sellers are in control unless there are sharp price spikes printing above this resistance level perhaps kick-starting the next wave of buyers erasing Nov and 2018 steep losses.

As it is, losses below $3,700 could trigger a meltdown that will see BTC print $3,000 or lower by the end of the year.

BTC/USD Daily Chart

Clearly, sellers are in charge and in a bear breakout pattern, we expect BTC/USD prices to be under immense pressure in days to come more so if there are steep losses below $3,700, the lower limit of our $1000 consolidation zone marking Nov 2018 lows.

Though it will be undesirable and against the Fibonacci retracement rules—prices are down +80 percent from 2017 peaks—any breach could see BTC/USD tumble to $3,000. On the flip side gains above $4,700—our minor resistance line could spur buyers into action and in turn, this could see BTC/USD printing $8,500 or higher by close of higher.

It all depends on if prices will find support and bulls build on last week’s gains.
